He/she always can visit, and not told otherwise. After the I-129F petition is filed,
the beneficiary (alien fiancee) should not attempt to travel to the USA as a
nonimmigrant visitor.

Actually that is not true. One can visit the US while the I-129F is being process, even if
it has been approved but the K-1 interview has not taken place. The onus is on the visitor
to bring enough proof with them that if they are questioned at the POE they can show that
they fully intend to return to their own country to continue the process. This can be
school schedules and registration for those courses, a letter from an employer stating
they are on holiday and are to return to work on such and such a date, a lease for an
apartment, etc.
You are not told you can't visit but if the I-129F has been approved and sent to the US
Consulate already, then it is unwise to travel to the US if only because the FBI name
check may have to be redone since you have visited the States after the Consulate had
clearance on you.

CParke is talking Bollocks. It is possible to visit but as always you are taking a risk
when you pass through immigration. This group has seen many people enter with success and
a few refused. Bringing proof of your return to home country is advised. Grinch

My fiance entered the US three times during the K-1 process (after it was approved).
Although never asked at the POE, he had a letter from his employer stating that he is
expected to return and a bank account statement (to show he still has an acct there). It
is always a risk, but if he/she has enough evidence that they plan to return, they should
be fine. Michelle
